Catalog Number: 0603497825028 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 0603497825028 Talking Heads threw you off balance, but grabbed your attention with a sound that seemed alternately threatening and goofy. An album full of staggered rhythms and sudden tempo changes, odd guitar tunings and rhythmic, single-note patterns, non-rhyming, non-linear lyrics that come across like odd remarks overheard from a psychiatrist's couch. A voice singing above its normal range, its falsetto leaps and strangled cries resembling a madman trying desperately to sound normal. The music was undeniably catchy, even at its most ominous, especially on "Psycho Killer", Byrne's supreme statement of demented purpose. This was the first of four consecutive masterpieces for sire. 77 is the work of a truly great American band. 3CD and Blu-Ray and 80 Page Hardcover Book (Super Deluxe edition) / 2LP and 2LP Limited Green Vinyl of the 1977 groundbreaking debut by Talking Heads, including the original album, outtakes, rarities and an 80 page hardcover book with new liner notes written by Tina Weymouth, David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison. The book includes photos and images from the band's archive and photographers from the era. 2LP : LP1: Original Album (AAA cut from Master Tapes) Uh-Oh Love Comes to Town New Feeling Tentative Decisions Happy Day Who Is It?
